[opencms-dev] Forcing locale for cms:include fails

[Tobias Herrmann]

Hi Yves,

the parameter '__locale' will only be evauluated once for each request by the CmsDefaultLocaleHandler before your template jsp or any other resource gets rendered. If you want to set the locale depending on a cookie value, you should really implement you own locale handler by implementing 
org.opencms.i18n.I_CmsLocaleHandler or extending org.opencms.i18n.CmsDefaultLocaleHandler. You can set the global locale handler within /WEB-INF/config/opencms-system.xml at opencms/system/internationalization/localehandler.

If you still need to do an include with another locale than the current request-context locale, you still could use the OpenCms API by calling

org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspTagInclude.includeTagAction(
         PageContext context,
         String target,
         String element,
         Locale locale,
         boolean editable,
         boolean cacheable,
         Map<String, String[]> paramMap,
         Map<String, Object> attrMap,
         ServletRequest req,
         ServletResponse res)

This is the same method used by the include tag, only that you can't set another locale than the current through the tag.

Greetings,
Tobias
